    Hi Guys,

    I have a Sony Z21ZN, its an amazing laptop and i love it.

    But, i went into my local Sony Store this morning and played with a NW series, this NW Series has a button on it you press and you are browsing the internet withing 15 seconds, does anyone know if this can be done on my Z version.

    Thanks

    no this feature is not enabled in the Z series or any other Sony Vaio series except for the NW series, that one-touch-button web browsing is so fast because its a small linux-based shell call "splashtop", its very small so it only takes seconds to boot up, i dont know if you can intall on it on your HDD to dual boot on your Z, i just told you all i know about that one button web browsing on the NW series, hope this clears things up for you :)
